Podcasts about Upper Manhattan

The NYPD is installing dozens of new security cameras in public areas of Upper Manhattan, funded by a $1 million federal grant. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the cameras will help prevent crime and aid investigations. Meanwhile, a bill to keep NYPD radio dispatches accessible to emergency groups and journalists is headed to the governor's desk after passing both chambers of the state legislature. Plus, with just 15 days to go until Primary Day in New York City, WNYC's Brian Lehrer and Brigid Bergin share key updates.

The Trump administration is allowing construction to resume on a major wind farm off Long Island. Meanwhile, a new poll shows Representative Elise Stefanik as the clear frontrunner for the Republican nomination for New York governor, Also, a New Jersey congresswoman faces federal charges after an incident outside an immigration detention center in Newark. Also, NYCHA opens its first-ever dog park in the Bronx. And in Upper Manhattan, a rent-stabilized apartment that's housed four generations of one family is now at the center of a legal fight.

New York is on the verge of becoming the 11th state plus DC to give citizens suffering from terminal diseases the right to die when and as they choose. Oregon was the first state  25 years ago to grant this right. Religious leaders, champions of the right to life, even some advocates for the disabled worry that such  laws  open the way to abuse, coercion, and worse. It seems never to have occurred anywhere, but death is a  fearful issue and dying fraught with guilt and worry.  We talk with a lawyer and a legislator who have led the campaign in New York for a better say to die, forcing the issues into the open and swaying opinions so that a bill making it's way through the legislature now could shortly be on the governor's desk for a signature.Corinne Carey from Troy NY is a  lawyer, organizer, and policy strategist.  For some time her mission has been to improve care and expand options for people facing the end of their lives.  She joined the non-profit organization Compassion & Choices after nearly a decade with the New York Civil Liberties Union where she served as deputy legislative director and where as co-chair of the statewide Women's Equality Coalition she helped lead efforts to modernize New York's abortion law well before most believed that Roe v. Wade was in jeopardy. She is a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Law.State Assemblyman Al Taylor has represented the 71st District of Upper Manhattan since 2017. He's been an advocate for that community for more than 20 years pushing economic opportunities, social change and reform of the criminal justice system. He has fought to reduce gun violence and hate crimes against transgendered people in his neighborhood. He holds a degree in public communication from Lehman College and a Master of Divinity from Nyack College Alliance Theological Seminary. He and wife Gwendolyn have five children.

Show Notes: Julia Lynch opens the conversation with a statement about identifying now as a Radcliffe graduate, despite not having identified with feminism during college. At college, Julia didn't think feminism was a pressing issue, but later realized that her career has been shaped by discrimination and enriched by her experiences as a mother and wife. Julia's professional trajectory was predictable, but she had to fight for her place in a male-dominated profession. At the age of 50, her life seems placid and predictable, but she is grateful for the surprises and bumps in her journey. Working in a Male-dominated Career After leaving Harvard, she worked as a secretary for a year, applied for a Rotary Fellowship, went to Italy, did a Phd. in Political Science, and onto her first job at UPenn where she achieved tenure.  Julia discusses her career in academia, which she had no idea was so male dominated. She notes that, while traditionally it was believed that STEM fields were male-dominated, some social science disciplines, such as political science, economics, and philosophy,  remain some of the most male-dominated areas despite changes in STEM fields. She initially had no idea that women would be held to a different standard than men in terms of tenure and promotion.  Discrimination in the Tenure and Promotion Process Julia talks about obvious and systematic discrimination in the tenure and promotion process. When applying for tenure in a political science department, she found that men who had lower qualifications than many women were put forward while women with much better qualifications were typically discouraged from applying for tenure or simply would not make tenure. She mentions the discrimination in the application process, and also noted that women authors tend to get cited less than male authors. She explains why there is less discrimination in the private sector and why, as a student, she didn't know about the discrimination against female professors. The Academic Job Market The conversation turns to the academic job market which is a complex one, with an average of 30% of women in senior faculty positions in political science. Political science is siloed as a field, with four main subfields: American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. The representation of women in these subfields is different, with less women in international relations and more in comparative politics and political theory. Julia explains that the most important thing to know about this topic is that women are entering the pipeline, but they either jump or get pushed off the tenure track early on in the process, never making it through to become full professors in political science. This results in a market for junior people at the pre-tenured stage, where women get jobs but don't go on to get tenure. Even if they stay on the tenure track, it takes them longer to get to that stage of full professor and spend a shorter percentage of their career at that top rank. The Push to Increase Diversity Julia talks about the push to increase diversity in new hires in the academia world and mentions that there was some pushback from younger professors. More women and minorities were hired, and progress was made at the junior level, but the problem was that the leaks in the pipeline were not fixed. Julia mentions the patterns that made this apparent and that  women tend to do qualitative work, which is less valued in the profession. Male Flight in Academic Disciplines The concept of male flight in academic disciplines is discussed, and Julia explains that this trend is striking, as seen in the case of archeology, a sub-field of anthropology, which was a male-dominated discipline. In political science, there hasn't been a significant change in male representation, although women have made breakthroughs in the political system. Qualitative, comparative historical research, which is dominated by the study of American politics, has seen a shift towards female representation. This shift is also evident in areas like qualitative, comparative historical research, where incoming men are fewer. Research on Health and Inequality Julia talks about her research in health and inequality. The United States has a lower life expectancy than Europe. This is partly due to poverty, which prevents access to fresh food and the time and energy to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Poverty also causes stress, which shortens the part of our chromosomes responsible for aging. Political decisions, such as not addressing poverty, particularly child poverty, have contributed to this issue. These experiences accumulate over a lifetime, making health outcomes worse for those starting their lives in poverty. Policy decisions and political decisions, such as allowing people to have a voice in politics, also play a role in health inequality. Julia states that, to address health inequality, the US should prioritize policy changes, including addressing poverty and promoting inclusion in politics. Julia's research included health and inequality in several European countries, including Germany after reunification. She mentions her book on this topic. Bristol University Press has made the book open access, making it available for free download on Amazon. If ordering from the US, it can be found through an aggregator or local bookstore. Thoughts on the Second Act Julia shares insights from her first and second marriages, including what it means to stick it out for the kids or live authentically. She believes that waiting for her current husband to separate their households was the right timing for her second act. She talks about her next project which involves travelling to Europe,  her involvement in a women's choir, and playing french horn in a semi-professional orchestra. The women's choir performs for various events, including concerts and gigs, to raise awareness about women's rights and encourage voter turnout. The choir started as a group of friends and family, but has grown to become a larger organization. They perform music written by women, often contemporary composers. Research suggests that engaging in group activities, such as dancing or singing, can align brain waves and emotions, creating a powerful bond between individuals. This bond is particularly powerful in smaller groups, where the choir can create a sense of community and belonging. Engaging in community is rare for adults, especially in today's world where we are constantly connected to our phones. Julia stresses the importance of engaging in community, whether in a church, synagogue, mosque, or running club. Influential Harvard Courses and Professors Julia mentions Justice class and her nickname in the class; she also mentions political theory classes. She remembers the class The Welfare State in the United States, taught by Theda Skocpol and Margaret Weir. Many of Julia's professors at Harvard have since become peers and colleagues.

This is the 4PM All Local for Saturday, January 25, 2025.

A 26-year-old tech whiz and Ivy League graduate is being questioned in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown last week in what authorities describe as a calculated and targeted attack. Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Maryland, was detained Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources say he was apprehended after customers reported his suspicious behavior. When police arrived, they discovered a gun with a silencer, multiple fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the U.S. healthcare system. Mangione has not been charged but is considered a person of interest in the case. Authorities are investigating whether he traveled to Altoona by bus from Philadelphia after fleeing the crime scene in Manhattan. Thompson was killed last week by a masked assailant who approached him from behind at approximately 6:45 a.m. Surveillance footage captured the gunman fleeing on foot and then on a bicycle into Central Park. The suspect was last seen boarding a bus at a depot in Upper Manhattan, prompting a multi-state manhunt. The shooting sent shock waves across corporate and healthcare sectors. Thompson, a prominent figure in the industry, was known for his leadership in one of the nation's largest private healthcare providers. Mangione's manifesto reportedly condemns the healthcare industry for prioritizing profit over patient care. Law enforcement sources suggest that Mangione's animosity may stem from personal experiences, as he lost close relatives in 2013 and 2017. During high school, Mangione worked briefly at an assisted-living facility, an experience that might have shaped his perspective. Authorities also found evidence of Mangione's affinity for anti-capitalist causes and environmental activism. His online activity included approving quotes from Ted Kaczynski, the notorious “Unabomber,” as well as philosophical musings from figures like Socrates and Bruce Lee. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, which is in addition to a $10,000 reward from Crime Stoppers and the NYPD. The incident has sparked debates on the safety of corporate executives and the broader implications of resentment toward the healthcare industry. Online reaction to Thompson's murder has been mixed, with some expressing outrage and others highlighting grievances against private healthcare providers. Law enforcement officials are monitoring these discussions as part of their investigation. Mangione's Background A valedictorian of the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore, Mangione graduated in 2016 before pursuing artificial intelligence studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Once described as a promising student in computer and cognitive sciences, Mangione's trajectory took a dark turn as he delved into radical ideologies. While authorities believe the shooter acted alone, they are piecing together the timeline of events leading to Thompson's killing. Mangione's motives and whether he has confessed remain unclear. This developing case underscores the intersection of personal grievances, ideological extremism, and violent action, leaving many in shock and mourning over the loss of a corporate leader. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information to come forward. #UnitedHealthcare #BrianThompson #LuigiMangione #HealthcareMurder #Altoona Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Length: 1 hour 8 minutesSynopsis: This evening (2/28/24), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we aimed to wrap up our analysis. After a thorough review of what we covered last time, we read the Meiri's commentary on the final six pesukim. This drew us into the esoteric vortex-like topic of God's Omniscience. We spent as much time on that as we needed (and perhaps a little more), then finished the Meiri and attempted to state the main idea, and I believe we succeeded! Sure, there's a lot more to be developed, but I'm happy with what we came up with, and I definitely want to revisit this perek in the future.-----מקורות:תהלים פרק קלטמאירירלב"ג - שמות לב:לברמב"ן - שמות יג:טזSeymour Feldman - "Gersonides: Judaism within the Limits of Reason"-----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Jonah Mishaan with appreciation for Rabbi Schneeweiss, who gathers wisdom from various disciplines.

Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan has a long and diverse history.  It could be described as an "East Side - West Side" story, because the neighborhood -- divided by Broadway -- is starkly different on each side.  Lucina Chavez-Rosique began measuring and documenting the decibel levels across the neighborhood. She's collecting noise data and resident stories to measure the  impact of noise on the community from a socioeconomic point of view. Her goal is to provide actionable recommendations to New York City leaders, based on a resident-created noise map.

The Moss Center in Blacksburg, Virginia presented a live performance and historic collaboration between renowned poet and Virginia Tech legend Nikki Giovanni and saxophonist-composer and former Jazz Messenger Javon Jackson. Their collaboration for over a year has yielded the CD The Gospel According to Nikki Giovanni. For an intimate jazz performance, Jackson brought his bold-toned, Trane-inspired tenor lines to bear on a series of hymns, spirituals, and gospel numbers hand-picked by Giovanni. The live performance also included jazz singer, Nnenna Freelon. This collaboration with Nikki Giovanni produced Jackson's fifth album for his Solid Jackson Records label. With a remarkable career as a Jazz saxophonist, Jackson released a potent tribute to a towering influence, Celebrating John Coltrane. His inaugural release on Solid Jackson Records featured the venerable drummer and former Coltrane collaborator Jimmy Cobb. He followed later in 2012 with Lucky 13, which featured the great soul-jazz keyboardist Les McCann and included a mellow instrumental rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry' Bout a Thing" along with a version of McCann's 1969 hit, "Compared to What." That same remarkably productive year, Jackson received the prestigious Benny Golson Award from Howard University in Washington, D.C., for recognition of excellence in jazz. Jackson's debut on the Smoke Sessions label, 2014's Expression, was a live quartet recording from the Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in Upper Manhattan. https://javonjackson.com/

***SUBSCRIBE for the MOST IRREVERENT NYC CRIME CONTENT*** MENTAL ILLNESS is rampant in NYC, everybody knows that. But lately, it's nearly universal among Big Apple criminals.  A resident of a men's shelter was caught trying to BUILD A BOMB. The judge sentenced him to 25 months in jail. Believe it or not, that's four months LONGER than federal sentencing guidelines prescribe.  In this case, it's particularly strange, considering the bomb builder had previously run afoul of the law by threatening to shoot up a special education school and targeted three students in particular.  ***JOIN US ON CENSORED.TV for EXCLUSIVE weekly video episodes, only available on CENSORED.TV - and use promo "PAT" for a discount subscription*** The notorious subway shooter FRANK JAMES - who got off 33 shots after setting off 2 smoke grenades on a subway car under Violent Brooklyn - was sentenced to 10 life sentences plus 10 additional years in prison. But do these sentences run consecutively or concurrently? If it's the later, he could be out in only - you guessed it - 10 years.

But the maniac was released on $5,000 bail with an order of protection saying he couldn't go near the woman.

Born on June 16, 1965, in Carthage, Missouri, Javon Jackson was raised in Denver, Colorado and chose saxophone at the age of 10. At age 16 he switched from alto to tenor and later enrolled at the University of Denver before spending part of 1985–86 at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He left Berklee in 1986 to join Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, where he later played alongside pianist Benny Green, trumpeter Philip Harper, trombonist Robin Eubanks and bassist Peter Washington. Jackson remained a fixture in the Jazz Messengers until Blakey's passing in 1990. In 1991, Jackson made his recording debut with Me and Mr. Jones, featuring James Williams, Christian McBride, and master drummer Elvin Jones. He joined Jones' group in 1992, appearing on the great drummer's albums Youngblood and Going Home. Jackson's 1994 Blue Note debut, When the Time Is Right, was a straight-ahead affair produced by iconic jazz vocalist and bandleader Betty Carter. His subsequent four recordings for the Blue Note label through the ‘90s were produced by Craig Street and featured wildly eclectic programs ranging from Caetano Veloso, Frank Zappa and Santana to Muddy Waters, Al Green and Serge Gainsbourg. His subsequent four recordings for the Palmetto label had him exploring a blend of funk, jazz and soul with such stellar sidemen as organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, guitarists Mark Whitfield and David Gilmore, trombonist Fred Wesley and drummer Lenny White. In 2009, Javon was commissioned by the Syracuse International Film Festival to compose a full-length score for the Alfred Hitchcock film, “The Lodger,” a silent movie based on the hunt for Jack the Ripper. The original score had its debut at the festival, performed live by Jackson's band (featuring pianist Manasia) at the film's screening in October 2010. In 2012, the saxophonist released a potent tribute to a towering influence, Celebrating John Coltrane, his inaugural release on his Solid Jackson Records which featured the venerable drummer and former Coltrane collaborator Jimmy Cobb. He followed later in 2012 with Lucky 13, which featured the great soul-jazz keyboardist Les McCann and included a mellow instrumental rendition of Stevie Wonder's “Don't You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” along with a version of McCann's 1969 hit, “Compared to What.” That same remarkably productive year, Jackson was the recipient of the prestigious Benny Golson Award from Howard University in Washington, D.C. for recognition of excellence in jazz. Jackson's debut on the Smoke Sessions label, 2014's Expression, was a live quartet recording from the Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in Upper Manhattan. On February 18, 2022, Javon will release, The Gospel According to Nikki Giovanni, his fifth album for his Solid Jackson Records label. Jackson finished and received his undergraduate degree from the Berklee College of Music and obtained a master's degree from the State University of New York at Purchase, where he also taught. In 2013, he accepted the position of Professor of Jazz Saxophone; Director of the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz Studies at the University of Hartford's Hartt School of Music, Theatre and Dance. In this episode, Javon shares his background, education, and musical journey.

By Davy Crockett You can read, listen, or watch Read the full story of Frank Hart in my new book: Frank Hart: The First Black Ultrarunning Star By 1888, Hart had competed in about 30 six-day races in nine years. He had reached 100 miles or more in about 40 races and had so far won at least 30 ultras. Perhaps because of his color, he had not been given enough credit as being a dominant champion during his career. There certainly were some who were better six-day pedestrians, but he was at least in the top-10 of his era. Racist labels against blacks such has “laziness” were often heaped on him, which bothered him terribly. He worked very hard. How could anyone who competed in six-day races be referred to as lazy? He did have a serious problem with his finances and likely had a gambling addiction. He looked for new ways to make money in the sport, including race organizing and had been criticized for not paying runners fairly. He was so mad at the reaction that he vowed that he was retiring from the sport. Get Davy Crockett's new book, Strange Running Tales: When Ultrarunning was a Reality Show. This book highlights the most bizarre, shocking, funny, and head-scratching true stories that took place in extreme long-distance running, mostly during a 30-year period that began about 1875. O'Brien's Six Day Race Hart's retirement did not last long. He entered the next big international six-day race held on May 7, 1888, in Madison Square Garden. For this race, 96 men entered and 44 started. One rejected runner claimed he could go 750 miles. In this race was, George Littlewood (1859-1912) of Sheffield, England, the world record holder for walking 531 miles in six days, reached 100 miles in less than 16 hours. After the first day, Hart was already more than 20 miles behind. On the morning of day two, after running 122 miles, in seventh place, Hart was said to look lazy and quit the race as he was falling in the standings. He realized that he would not finish in the money. Littlewood went on to win with 611 miles. Throughout 1888, Hart competed in several 75-hour races in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, winning most of them, but earning less than hoped for. Feeling rejected by Boston, he now claimed to be from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fox Diamond Belt Six Day Race Hart competed in the most historic six-day race in history, held November 26-December 1, 1888, in Madison Square Garden. There were 100 race entries, but they approved only 40 starters. Richard Kyle Fox (1846-1922), editor and publisher of the sporting publication, The Police Gazette, put it on. Leading up to the race, Hart trained at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan each day “under the watchful eyes of trainers and admirers” with several other entrants, including Littlewood. It would be the last six-day race held in the original Madison Square Garden, previously called Gilmore's Garden, and P.T. Barnum's Hippodrome, made from an old train depot. The old building would begin to be demolished on August 7, 1889. It was located on the block that currently holds the New York Life Building. The Start Nearly 10,000 people filled the building for the start with 37 contestants. Through the first night, it became obvious why the building needed to be replaced. “The ring in the center of the garden looked as if it had been swept by a hurricane. Booths were overturned and the floor was flooded with melted snow, which had dropped through the crevices in the roof.” It didn't seem to bother Littlewood, who covered 77.4 miles in the first 12 hours. Original Madison Square Garden Hart was about 12 miles behind and struggled early. “Several doses of bug juice were taken, and the Haitian youth was wobbly in the legs, and his eyes rolled in a fine frenzy for some hours.” He covered 113 miles on day one, in 11th place. Again, racist comments were made by reporters that he was being lazy.
